The Coronavirus Diaries

Dear Diary. After lunch I retired to my study and fell asleep while reading on my sofa. When I awoke I checked the Magnus Carlsen Invitational on my computer…Caruana and Nakamura, in game #3, were playing yet another bullshit Italian Game.

That made me feel better, strangely. As hopeless as things are in online chess, there will always be a sliver of hope – somewhere – in the rest of the world, and that it is always worth looking for it!
